pattricia Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Her and her boyfriend did mess the police about. After her boyfriend phoned them up stating that she had smashed a lamp over his head ( police had pictures to prove it) he then withdrew his complaint. She was still expected to stand before magistrates for this crime. This is what worried her, as she feared being jailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t be the first person to suffer from domestic violence to have a change of heart, for various reasons. If she hadn’t done anything, she would have been fine. Let’s be honest, had she done it her career might have stalled but it wouldn’t have ended. But it’s a sad and unnecessary end. But we need to be nicer to people online, we all agree on that but only after I’ve commented on people with annoying voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that if he didn't press charges that would be the end of it, any wasting of police time would be a smaller charge which would be for both of them, sorry, I'm not quite understanding it.

The victim doesn't have to press charges, the police can do it themselves. This is to stop those who are abused or beaten refusing to report a crime due to fear/a misplaced sense of love/intimidation etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steved32 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Er .. never heard of her, but it seems to me that media fame leads to media pain. Suicide... What a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
